The East Bay's premier community jazz band
The crowd was enjoying a gorgeous day, delicious wine and food, and the sweet sounds of the Walnut Creek Jazz Band as we made our regular spring engagement at the V. Sattui Winery in Napa Valley on April 13th.
Our two sets of big band and vocal jams featured jazz standards, pop favorites, funk and Latin swing.
Check out video from the show here.
On March 29th the WCJB returned to St. Andrew's in Pleasant Hill to deliver an exciting set of big band jazz.
A small combo led by Joyce on vocals and spotlighting a few of our soloists was a new feature in the show. View pictures here.
The little drummer boy had nothing on the Walnut Creek Jazz Band Saturday, Dec. 14th at the MDUUC. Jazz fans braved the elements and packed the house, and we warmed their spirits with cool holiday favorites. View the concert video
On Sunday, November 3rd, the WCJB presented an Evening of Big Band and Vocal Jazz at the Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church. The concert was dedicated to the memory of our bandmate Steve Leathers.
“Steve was a gentle soul and a talented musician who was widely known and loved in the music community, and we all mourn his passing.” -- Executive Director Jeff Paull
